Representative Text

1 Through Him, Who all our sickness felt,

To soothe another's care.

3 Help us to build each other up,
Help us ourselves to prove;

And perfect us in love.

4 Complete at length Thy work of grace,
And take us to Thy rest,
Among the saints who see Thy face,
To be forever blest.
